Rosario was driving a 1988 Chevrolet Sprint south on I-5 when his vehicle struck a Kia Optima in the same lane, State Patrol reports indicate.

Rosario lost control of his vehicle and traveled into the northbound lanes, hitting a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. A Dodge Neon and then a Ford F-150 pickup also hit Rosario's car in the northbound lanes, reports say.
